I like their description/approach for logical problem solving:

2.2.

"The engine includes three types of operators: planning, reasoning, and retrieval, which transform natural language problems into problem solving processes that combine language and notation.

In this process, each step can use different operators, such as exact match retrieval, text retrieval, numerical calculation or semantic reasoning, so as to realize the integration of four different problem solving processes: Retrieval, Knowledge Graph reasoning, language reasoning and numerical calculation."
What you describe in C falls under A) are not that capable and did not know about it - investing all into offence means you're not capable in defense. Making sure the encryption of the major military alliance you're part of doesn't fall apart seems like a serious miss, no matter how we slice it. Be the reason bureaucratic, malicous or financial.

On an only slightly related note, I'd be happy if the same was available on smartphones, in software: my mobile photography is of the school "take a lot and discard almost as many" and having to choose between the different lens/sensor pairs ahead of snap is entirely alien to that process. So the camera software is forever set to that main lense and all the other ones are just dead weight in my pocket (and stuff manufacturers don't allow me to not buy when I need a new phone, preferably one with a good main camera)

I think I understand that the precessor would not be able to read out the sensors at the same time, but time-multiplexed bracketing has been done before, it really should not be too hard or weird to apply that concept to multiple sensors? (some sensors with integrated memory might even be able to do concurrent capture/deferred readout?)
I’m betting on an AI brain/assistant for individuals. My info is all over the place - blogs, newsletters, articles, emails, slack, tasks. I think the amount of information will surely grow, along with the overwhelm

It remained unchanged for a while. Or it would get a bit better, worse, better, worse but never worse than when it started. After a while, there was a "miracle week" where it felt better and didn't come back. I don't remember doing anything special on that week, but I was making tweaks on my eating habits pretty frequently in the hope that something worked. I'm fairly convinced I stumbled upon the winning combination for food, but it's impossible to be sure. One significant change in my eating habits was introducing green/black tea after lunch and reducing coffee.
Someone with a kernel-level exploit can completely neuter your eBPF detection. They can make it never return data, or return bogus/benign data. You can try to catch them in that lie, but it's really hard, and even if you do they can just stop your process from being able to report on it. Again, a real-life analogy might help: it is really, really hard to protect yourself against a criminal who has the cops on their side. You're definitely not going to be allowed to go into the crime scene yourself, so you have to trust what they're telling you. All your complaints are going through them. If a dirty cop doesn't like you your life can get a whole lot worse!

>Since only one in 9 billion values caused the problem, Intel's view was that the problem was trivial: "This doesn't even qualify as an errata."

This sounds utterly insane. You are making a CPU, if any calculations are wrong it needs to be fixed ??
I supposed this only came to light very late into testing and it was very impractical to bin every cpu, so they rolled the dice.

Even when heads of state are being extorted. Morocco used it against France and Spain. It fizzled out of the news cycle and nothing happened. And those countries later announced multi-billion Euro investments in Morocco. If anything, this is a signal hiring Pegasus is very profitable and they can do whatever they want.

Reminds me of a sci-fi setting where earth was a single super living organism. We human individuals acts like cells, inter-connected by the Internet, then a single super AI conscience acts like the brain.

The article mentions UBI, which is similar to the adenosine triphosphate energy cycle in our body. There are also some forms of "hormones" to make sure every cell lives happily.

One particular interesting question: is this the inevitable way of all evolving creatures in the galaxy? Can we spot other "super-intelligence" planets like the super-intelligence Earth?

I feel that with typescript you can sort of build an SDK by creating a thin wrapper around fetch and have it consume the API types as a generic.

This way you still have the benefits of type safety without the bloat of creating an actual SDK.

SDKs tend to be useful when they hold state / don’t just proxy to a rest call, but I don’t see why we need wrapper libraries. They also hide away the complexity of knowing how the rest api is meant to consume data (query / params / body / encoding). So the assumption is the rest API itself makes sense.

I took this approach with a backend typescript framework called vramework.dev which can generate openapi specs as well as the thin fetch wrapper, and feel like for my projects satisfies my needs.
The moat for Chrome is "it's free because it's subsidized by Google's search monopoly". Before that moat for Explorer was "it's free becaus it's subsidized by Microsoft's OS monopoly", that's what killed Netscape, they couldn't subsidize the Navigator.

OpenAI can't do anything comparable to Google at this point because they have no other product. If anything they're more like Netscape.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Yet, in an article about a camera lens, there isn't a single picture from it.
The big distinction between PostScript and PDF was the removal of the language operators[1]. Adobe Distiller unrolled the PostScript language to create a file without the code.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_PC_compatible

"By June 1983 PC Magazine defined "PC 'clone'" as "a computer [that can] accommodate the user who takes a disk home from an IBM PC, walks across the room, and plugs it into the 'foreign' machine".[7] Demand for the PC by then was so strong that dealers received 60% or less of the inventory they wanted,[8] and many customers purchased clones instead.[9][10][11] Columbia Data Products produced the first computer more or less compatible with the IBM PC standard during June 1982, soon followed by Eagle Computer. Compaq announced its first product, an IBM PC compatible in November 1982, the Compaq Portable. The Compaq was the first sewing machine-sized portable computer that was essentially 100% PC-compatible. The court decision in Apple v. Franklin, was that BIOS code was protected by copyright law, but it could reverse-engineer the IBM BIOS and then write its own BIOS using clean room design. Note this was over a year after Compaq released the Portable. The money and research put into reverse-engineering the BIOS was a calculated risk. "

Copyright law and clean room design being the magic words.

>There's lots of research on election results and voting patterns.

Yes, thats the hard part. Lots of reach if varying quality and accuracy, before and after election analysis. Opinion pieces. So much to sift through.

>It's really on you or whoever is making the claim.

I didn't make the claim. But I want to emphasize that this isn't just a question you throw a link at.

>If you don't know, then these claims are fabrications.

If that's your approach to any social science, you're not getting far. Nro unless you have the money for a census with proper statisticians. Data will always be messy and debatable.

>It seems pretty straightforward to me. Who voted for what and why?

I hope the above at least sheds some light otherwise. At least if your goal is truly truth seeking and not randomly bashing heads on the internet.
The fisheye transform is destructive though. Reversing it is a probabilistic process (not really a big problem now with generative ML but still)
"The introduction makes me feel insulted or uncomfortable, therefore your conclusion must be false."
I’ve wanted something like this deeply integrated into my programming language. The compiler already knows that fine-grained dependency information; it should be able to use that to ignore tests for modules that are not in the dependency subgraph of the diff

The idea of "gender identity" as based on a subjective inner sense of self, and that "gender identity" must supersede sex, fundamentally reframes a core characteristic of the entire human population.

When implemented in law and policy, this affects everyone.

The impact is mostly on women and girls, for whom female-only spaces are essential for their safety and dignity. Allowing any man who says he's a women into such spaces undermines the very reason they exist in the first place, and effectively destroys them.

This isn't progress; it harms women and girls. It shouldn't be a surprise why so many people are against such changes being imposed.
LLMs are known to do bad calculations because all it does is to predict the next token. It’s pretty annoying, and I don’t understand why calculation (eg via Python) is still not a core functionality

No, it can just be because they haven't been exposed to it or needed to care about it. Obviously people's real names have similar problems and nobody is confused that John Smith isn't the same person as John Jones.
Not sure, most end users aren't really aware on how it works on their mobile and it's not like Apple will advertise it either.

An idea I that I considered implementing was to instrument parser libraries (png/pdf etc) with address sanitizer (for iMessage/Chrome/Webkit) and run the instrumented version for 5% of all parsing operations. If we get enough people to use this, exploits may be easier to discover?
This feels like the kind of thing that's so obvious it's hard to believe it isn't being pursued... Google could, for example, make a _huge_ splash with the Pixel 10 by presenting this with the option of after-the-fact optical zoom or wide angle shots, or using the multiple lenses for some fancy fusing for additional detail. And to your point, DSLRs have been doing deferred readout in the sense of storing to an on-device cache before writing out to the SD card while waiting for previous frames to complete their write ops... this same sort of concept should be able to apply here.

I don't know much more about the computational photography pipeline, but I imagine there might be some tricky bits around focusing across multiple lenses simultaneously, around managing the slight off-axis offset (though that feels more trivial nowadays), and, as you say, around reading from the sensors into memory, but then also how to practically merge or not-merge the various shots. Google already does this with stacked photos that include, say, a computationally blurred/portrait shot alongside the primary sensor capture before that processing was done, so the bones are there for something similar... but to really take advantage of it would likely require some more work.

But this is all by way of saying, this would be really really cool and would open up a lot of potential opportunities.
> The commissioners are appointed by their party

Commissioners are proposed by their country and discussed with the head of the commission (which was selected by the whole European council) before being validated by the parliamentary committee in charge of its portfolio (composed of MEPs which are elected using direct universal suffrage and proportional representation (you can hardly be more democratic than that).

I understand that you have had issue in the past with the UK pick as commissioner. Sadly the UK uses first past the post election and has a party-chosen prime minister. I would thank you for not projecting the results of the poor democratic system used by your country on the Union in the future.

You don't have an obligation not to suppress my speech. However, when you do choose to suppress my speech, you are, in fact, suppressing my speech.

I'm not asking you, or YouTube, to stop suppressing speech. I'm objecting to the weasel-words. When you apply a special case to a user to reduce the reach of their content, that's targeted suppression. Suppression can be good! I'm grateful that YouTube suppresses spam and violence, but I'm not going to call it some newspeak term like unamplification.

I'm not sure why adding the reason of sexual orientation changes speech from being not-amplified to suppressed. Both cases are suppression. A fire suppression system doesn't turn into a fire unamplification system when it's used on the homes of heterosexuals.

Well, it is one of the problem. Recently new tech was installed - but not at all with the idea of automatisation in mind. Apart from that I know, I often had the fun adventure of not knowing will I catch the last connection, or not.

From here to the next 10 years or so, the bet is on Medical-Help.

I did the same thing in Golang here: https://github.com/deosjr/nand2tetris

Another helpful tool that should be mentioned in this context is the idea of merge trains, where a thorough test run is amortized over many commits (that should each have first received lighter selective testing).

This doesn't necessarily reduce the latency until a commit lands, though it might by reducing the overall load on the testing infrastructure. But it ensures that all commits ultimately get the same test coverage with less redundant test expense.

That avoids the problem where a change in component A can accidentally break a test that is only tested on changes to component B.

(It also eliminates regressions that occur when two changes land that have a semantic conflict that wasn't detected because there was no textual conflict and the changes were only tested independently.)

Yeah, summarizing electricity cost with one number is not doable in countries where seasons vary as much as in Finland.

Electricity cost will always be higher during winter where it is needed for heating. And this is where households will also use more.
Segments of the working class who would have in decades past done modestly well for themselves in the industries we're currently missing are now stuck trying to get by on jobs that were intended to give teenagers something useful to do.

I don’t think a rational person can deny the value of skilled immigration, but the context in which immigration exists in the US is not a simple dichotomy between net benefit/loss.

Wealth inequality has followed a trend of concentrating towards the top over many decades. (https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2020/01/09/trends-...), exacerbated by events such as 2008 recession and Covid. Even with increased productivity, salaries have not always kept pace with inflation or cost of living in many US cities (https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/human_r...).

Not only do US workers already have to compete with offshoring (https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2024/10/15/the-global...) which is now impacting formerly safe white collar jobs like accounting and engineering, education costs in the US are also some of the highest in the world, raising the barrier to entry and putting domestic workers at a competitive disadvantage against global markets (https://www.statista.com/statistics/238733/expenditure-on-ed... ).

HN obviously tends to skew towards tech and Silicon Valley; an industry and location that has been somewhat insulated from these effects, but its a very real struggle for many people throughout the US across varied fields from finance and accounting, to medicine and engineering.

It is in this environment in which the current H1B debate exists. While there may be a net benefit to the US economy overall from skilled immigration, much of that benefit (similar to higher productivity) tends to increasingly be enjoyed at the top socioeconomic level. The “layers of indirection” are in many cases owned and controlled by corporations through IP law, patents, copyright, non-compete and NDAs, and other legal mechanisms, which can delay their benefit to society at large, and create further perverse incentives if not regulated fairly.

And while globalization as a root cause might be inevitable, it can certainly be managed through regulation in a way that more equitably distributes the benefits. It can also be manipulated by regulatory capture to enable corporations to lower costs and increase profits at the expense of US labor. There are many examples of this occurring before now. Any sound policy change regarding the H1B visa program needs to take all benefits/risks into account, and I personally would like to see a little more nuance from the incoming executive administration in this regard. Folks like Musk and Ramaswamy have a lot of profit to gain from importing cheaper skilled labor, with a higher degree of control over domestic employees vs those located overseas. I also have a hard time believing any corporate executives would have predominately altruistic intentions, and there is an obvious conflict of interest in them being involved in any policy decisions that impact their balance sheets. I realize this doesn’t negate a net positive benefit, but when that benefit is largely realized by a select few through regulatory capture, and is easily abused, it’s not anti-immigrant to criticize policy implementation.
I can well imagine a (first order) linear effect.

Inhaling toxic fumes gives a probability p that a cell is harmed into a cancer cell. The probability of a hit after n trials equals 1-(1-p)^n. First order approximation (this is the Binomial approximation), this equals n*p. This is accurate for small p and large n, exactly the situation smoking would be in.
